"You dont know what bump steer is then! What a moron. By reducing suspension travel you reduce any potential bump steer since there is less movement for the bad geometry to "steer" the wheel..."
Anyone know what "bump steer" is? Someone obviously doesnt....................lol
this explains it well
Reducing suspension travel to keep bump steer under control is at best a compromise. Fixing the bump steer is a far better solution.
But I'm sure you knew that anyway...
Fitting harder springs, which have also been shortened, to std suspension legs, on a vehicle which already has large dia "wagon wheels" fitted with ultra low profile tyres, is a recipe for disaster, and will in some cases mean the handling of a vehicle will be lethal.

Don't you think you should seek help about your biscuit based snack fetish?
No but it might help you if you knew WTF is being discussed!

Too long, hang on...
Better.
Yes I do. You obviously dont.
Suspension linkages are not perfect. As they move up and down the wheel can turn in and out due to the tracks that the steering linkage take not being exactly the same as the ones the suspension make the wheel follow.
This can be because the bottom suspension arm is a slightly different length or angle to the steering arm. The length therefore changes in comparison to each other (therefore turning the wheel) in or out as you hit a bump.
Reducing suspension travel without changing any other geometry therefore limits the extremes of the changes. Fitting the shorter harder springs does precicely that.
So although the errors are still there they do not show up as much.
Now, without showing me "links" to stuff you do not understand explain in your own words why I am wrong?
I know you cant.
I know you cant ride a bike!

So again you look stupid. Do you come on here because you WANT to look stoopid?
Sorry thought you had a nasty accident while riding a spammed up Suzuki................which you probably wouldnt have had if you had been able to ride properly. Maybe you were pissed up, like the time when you thought an 1/8 drag strip was a 1/4?

Well don't buy a car with bad geometry...
Is that the best you can do?
Fitting silly lowering springs and reducing suspension travel is guaranteed to screw up the geometry.............

It does not change the geometry. It simlply restricts it.
